Borim is an Ed.D. candidate in the Art and Art Education Program, Teachers College, Columbia University. Her research interest is in computer-mediated art instruction, particularly how students construct their self through computer-based art practice, and how art educators can integrate this aspect of self-identity into art instruction. As a Korean-born artist, she attempts to connect the concept of cultural identity to computer-mediated art practice in her research involving students, art educators, and contemporary artists. Borim has given presentations on this topic nationwide, including Boston, Honolulu, and New York. Her writings on art, art education, and cultural studies appear in publications in both the U.S.A. and Korea. Her recent solo exhibition was held at the Macy Gallery, Teachers College, NYC.
